Pixxel is a space technology company working towards creating the world’s highest resolution hyperspectral imaging satellite-imaging constellation. The images gathered by Pixxel’s satellites will provide up-to-date information relevant to climate monitoring, crop yield prediction, urban planning, and disaster response.
Awais Ahmed is the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Pixxel.
Pixxel is a space data company, building a constellation of hyperspectral earth imaging satellites and the analytical tools to mine insights from that data. The constellation is designed to provide global coverage every 24 hours, with the aim of detecting, monitoring and predicting global phenomena.
Pixxel’s hyperspectral imagery is more frequent, consistent and of higher quality, targeted monitoring, localised problem detection, and hyper optimised solutions in every sector globally.
Pixxel’s hyperspectral imaging satellites are uniquely designed to beam down data in hundreds of wavelengths to detect problems that are invisible to today’s satellites. The constellation is designed to provide global coverage at a revisit of every 24 hours.
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technique that analyses a wide spectrum of light instead of just assigning primary colours (red, green, blue) to each pixel. The light striking each pixel is broken down into many different spectral bands in order to provide more information on what is imaged.
The collected spectra are used to form an image in a way that each image pixel includes a complete spectrum.
- Images captured and analysed in 100s of wavelengths rather than 10s of wavelengths as done today.
- Up to 50x more information compared to today’s datasets.
